Destroy Entire Websites With Asteroids Bookmarklet 65
An anonymous reader writes "Have you ever visited a website and been so frustrated by the content, layout, or adverts that you'd love to destroy it? Well, now you can. If you head on over to the erkie GitHub page there's a JavaScript bookmarklet you can drag and add to your bookmarks toolbar. Then just visit any website and click the bookmarklet. An Asteroids-style ship should appear that you can move around with the arrow keys. Press space and it will start firing bullets which destroy page content."

The Shift isn't necessary. I often misplace the bookmarks bar, hitting Ctrl-B instead of Ctrl-V on Windows.

When you say something like "fails in chrome" don't you think it would be a good idea to have actually tried it? It works fine here in chrome 6.

Debris Belt (Score:5, Funny)
Of course, pretty soon you've got millions of small pieces of web page debris orbiting your browser. Then your real, working web pages run a real risk of getting hit and destroyed by a piece of debris at over 20,000 mph, thus contributing even more to the debris belt. And when the Chinese start testing their anti-web-page rockets and making even more debris? Well, it's pretty much game over for the Intertubes at that point...

While attacking the Slashdot page I found Firefox performance not up to scratch. Chrome 7.x was better but still not perfect.
Anyone know of a high-FPS browser? Do I need a better video card??

Try IE9. I hear you can actually get a playable framerate for Crysis out of it.

Perhaps not as creatively, but back in the *last* century there was an browser addon that allowed you to throw tomatoes, or blast an offending webpage with different weapons [rifle or shotgun IIRC].
You could even screen cap the results and post the mutilated page as well. It soon lost its novelty and waddled off into the dustbin of Idle history. I'm sure this one will as well.
I just wish I could remember who published it, or what it was called.

feh, spoiled brats. Got it all handed to you.
In the century before that one, we didn't even have a browser add on. All we had was View Source and a text editor. We had to edit the page's code by hand. And then, we couldn't shoot anything at the web page -- all we could do was throw rocks at our monitors. And THEN we had to edit the page's code from MEMORY. It was tough, but we were better for it.
